Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Freemarker

[Doug Schaefer <dschaefer@xxxxxxx>]

Well, I'm running the resultant generated code through the code formatter so spacing isn't as big an issue for me.

Having an easy API does matter, especially ones that can pull the template out of the bundle without resorting to the FileLocator. I have a dead simple template engine now that just does variable substitution. I'll take a look at Xtend and see if it meets our needs.

Thanks!

Doug.

Yes, it is sort of a Java extension. For instance it extends Java with support for template string concatenation ;-)

The advantage of Xtend over Freemarker and the like is that it is statically typed and has very good tool support.

In addition it sports smart whitespace handling.

I've recorded a screencast some time ago, demoing the template support:

Xtend is a Java language extension, no? I'm talking about a template engine that we use in the new project wizard to instantiate code templates based on various user selectable options.

I was originally thinking of Jet, but I can't seem to find it anymore. Whatever happened to it?

Doug,

have you considered using Xtend?

Has anyone tried to get Freemarker into Orbit? Or is there a better template engine that people are using. CDT has it's own but I'd like to use something more standard (and better).

Thanks,

Doug.
